"Yo! I've got a new hairstyle.,It looks pretty good.,There's a three-point shadow of me.,What have you been busy with lately? ”

At the place where the two agreed, Shiraishi had already arrived early, and sitting on the guardrail on the top of the building, he leisurely looked at the night view of Nagoya below.

I don't know if men have a hobby of climbing high and looking far, and without answering, he Shota also silently walked to the edge of the roof.

"Well, this time I chose a good location. From here, you can see almost the entire night of Nagoya, and you can feel like you are trampled under your feet. ”

"You mean God?"

Turning his face slightly sideways, Shota narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

"Nope! No! No! I don't want to be that kind of mess, and besides, it's not just a god who can trample people under his feet.

Isn't there a lot of people in this world who can do it easily, but you just don't know it. ”

Shiraishi seemed to be in a good mood, he chuckled and simply stood up and stood on the edge of the guardrail, turned around and squatted in front of Shota.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Seeing this, Shota didn't ramble anymore and simply went straight to the topic.

"Do you know about kendo tournaments in West Japan?"

"You know, how can you be interested?"

Shiraishi raised his eyebrows and looked at him a little strangely, he knew a lot about Shota's sword, this guy was the same as himself with the kind of swordsmanship that could not see the light in the dark, and this kind of competition itself had no meaning.

I've been holding steel weapons for a long time, and you told me that the thing made of wood is also called a sword. Well, I can't help it if you have to say that.

But once the sword is shot, it will be bloody, and the game without this kind of consciousness can only be regarded as a game in his eyes.

"I was asked by a man to go to that competition."

"Yes! I'm going to say how you might suddenly want to go to that kind of competition. ”

Hearing him say this, Shiraishi was relieved, he stood up and simply played tightrope walking on the edge of the roof, and Shota, who was standing below, looked at him with a frown.

"What's that game like, and how difficult is it?"

"How do you say this?,If you want to talk about the kendo tournaments in the western Japan prefectures, it should be regarded as a well-known competition in the kendo competition.,Although it refers to the western Japan region in general.,But there will be a lot of masters.。

But don't worry, most of them are relatively low-ranking players, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to deal with them at your level, but if you are a champion, it will be really difficult to say.

Although newcomers are encouraged to come forward in both years, there will also be some dojo priests and priests who will participate in the competition.

Of course, at their age, I think they just came out to make a name for themselves in the dojo, after all, under the current economic conditions, those dojos in the barren mountains and mountains are also very difficult to survive.

That's right! What rank do you have in kendo, I haven't heard you talk about it before? ”

Under Shiraishi's curious expression, Shota asked rhetorically with a strange expression.

"Rank? What rank? ”

……

Seeing him lying on the guardrail laughing out of breath, Shota really wanted to kick him down, but he simply turned around to look at the scenery on the other side.

It's true that he practices kendo, but there is no serious person to teach him. It's true that Sunset is half a teacher, but just teaching him Beichen is a sword, and he didn't mention anything about kendo competitions and ranks, so Shota is now a serious candidate for the subject.

"Have you laughed enough, I'm not here to listen to your laughter."

"I'm sorry, I'll refrain from it...... I can't do it! Hahaha! ”

Shota was so angry that he simply planned to turn around and leave, but then Shiraishi jumped down from it and ran in front of him to stop Shota.

"That's it! I'll refrain from it. Call! ”

Taking a deep breath, he tried to restore himself to his previous serious appearance, and he held back a few smiles under Shota's cold gaze before finally looking at him with a serious face.

"To participate in these kendo competitions, you must first obtain a kendo rank qualification, and if you don't qualify, you can't participate in the competition."

"So where should I get this qualification?"

I didn't expect that there was such a rule in this, and Shota was thinking about whether to cancel this transaction and simply cooperate with Shiraishi Bird to do a few more votes, but in his subconscious, he was still curious about this kendo competition.

"The kendo rank was established by the International Kendo Federation, also known as FIK, in 1990, in Heisei 2.

In the regulations, there are a total of 10 ranks in the first dan to the 10th dan. The first dan is the lowest, the tenth dan is the highest, and the ranks from the first dan to the eighth dan can be obtained by passing the rank review exam, as for the ninth and tenth dans, they are all honorary ranks, and the people who get these titles are old old men who have lost their teeth.

It is not possible to skip the test between the ranks, and there is a limit on the number of years. ”

"Then I'm ...... now"

"Don't worry, the first stage is also the owner of the first-level qualification, and its age requirement is above the second grade of secondary school; As for the second stage, the requirements are at least 1 year after the initial qualification, and the applicant must be at least 16 years old. ”

"Then I'm ......"

"Yes, you can only participate in the kendo tournaments in the western prefectures of western Japan as a beginner. Hahaha! If you really let your kid walk shit and happen to win the championship, then it's really fun to watch, and I'll see what those old guys in the kendo league do.

Junior Champion! Hahaha! ”

No matter how much he smiled, Shota couldn't be happy anyway. After doing it for a long time, he turned out to be a person who showed off his might in the novice village, and the kendo he always thought was driving without a license.

It's not that you can't drive, but if you stand with a group of junior children, the comparability will come out immediately, Okay, When I think of the possible picture, Shota's head is blue.

"What the hell are the priests and fans?"

"Don't even think about that. In addition to ranks, kendo also has separate ranks and titles.

The ranks are established by the kendo organizations of various countries under the FIK, such as the All Japan Kendo Federation. The rank is divided into six levels to the first level, the sixth level is the lowest, the first level is the highest, and there must be a level one level for three months before you can participate in the initial stage of the rank review.

There are three titles: "Alchemist, Priest, and Fanshi".

An alchemist must possess the sixth-stage qualification, which requires good judgment; Priests should have the qualifications of the six stages of the practitioner and have good ability to instruct; Fan Shi has the qualifications of the eighth rank of the priest, has high moral integrity, is proficient in swordsmanship, and is skillful, and must be at least 55 years old.

Those are the old antiques who have become so-called masters, I have been thinking about what kind of level they should have been at that time, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to find a fan Shi to try it out, I really don't know if he can withstand my few swords. ”

As the saying goes, boxing is afraid of being less strong, and being older in martial arts is more advantageous in terms of experience, but it is much inferior to young people in terms of physical consumption and staying power, and it is not unreasonable for the so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master.

Giving him a blank look, Shota silently jotted down the words.

"Is there a way to get to the first level first, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to participate in this competition."

"That's easy, but do you really want to be ready to compete?"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Shota suddenly became cautious and looked at him, it was obvious that Shiraishi had something to say.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about your sword...... Can it see the light? ”
